I live in NJ and in my town bedrooms in the basement are not legal.

I have put a dehumidifier in my basement to take some of the dampness out
of
the air. The problem is I can only run it during the day because my
daughter's bedroom is in the basement and the dehumidifier is really
noisy.
Does anyone have a creative idea for quietening it down? (It's already on
a
carpet). Thanks.

To the OP:
Get a heavy duty timer. Shut the thing off during certain hours. Your
daughter's entitled to silence when she's sleeping.


Is it fan-noise or rattling thats the issue?
The best solution is to find a quieter model dehumidifier,
but failing that, gluing something heavy to the sheet
metal may (or may not) help. Is the machine IN
the bedroom? Can you do something about reducing the
noise going through the wall/door?
